溫哥華豪宅銷售下跌, 但多倫多蒙特利爾銷售不斷增長

溫哥華豪宅銷售下跌, 但多倫多蒙特利爾銷售不斷增長：根據一份新的報告，蒙特利爾的房地產銷售旺盛，2019年上半年的房地產銷售額超過400萬的物業增長率到達了三位數，但在溫哥華豪宅銷售繼續減少。

“加拿大的頂級房地產市場在不同的方向轉動，”蘇富比國際地產加拿大公司週三發布的一份報告中寫道，該報告追踪了加拿大主要城市超過100萬和400萬的公寓，聯排別墅和獨立式住宅的數量。

該機構此前曾預測蒙特利爾將成為創造新記錄的新興熱點。

與去年同期相比，2019年上半年超過100萬的房產銷售額增長了5％。

超過400萬的物業銷售額飆升267％，其中11個物業房產已售出。2018年上半年只出售了區區三處此類房產。

據該報告稱，該機構的專家指出，國際買家增加了 – 包括新加拿大人，永久居民和投資者在內的一群人，因為多倫多和溫哥華的外國買家稅將國外買家重新定向到蒙特利爾。

然而，該集團仍然在該市構成“整體頂級銷售活動的一小部分”。

大多倫多地區的物業銷售額“健康增長”超過100萬，今年上半年售出8,612個這類物業 – 比2018年同期增長12％。

GTA超過400萬的房產銷售下降了19％，該報告稱這些房屋的賣家沒有在MLS系統，轉而支持私人銷售。這種轉變發生在變化之後，當通過MLS出售房屋時，可以公開更多信息。據報導，行業專家預計這一趨勢將對其他主要城市的房地產市場產生更大的影響。

與此同時，在溫哥華以前的房地產市場，由於政府乾預的影響，豪宅銷售繼續下滑。

報告指出：“市場繼續承受收緊的抵押貸款規則，多重政府政策和稅收以及猶豫不決的賣家和變幻無常的買家缺乏交易承諾的動力。”

售價超過100萬的房屋下降33％至1,308處房產，而售價超過400萬的房屋下降34％至73所房屋。

蘇富比表示，在2019年剩餘時間裡，賣家的期望與當前市場狀況之間的緩慢調和“正在為新的活動水平奠定基礎”。

“溫哥華房地產業的發展條件為潛在的頂級房地產買家創造了機會，可以考慮以前無法實現的住房選擇，”報告稱，一些正在考慮價格超過100萬的公寓的潛在買家現在可能已經轉移他們專注於聯排別墅或獨立式住宅（獨立屋）。

今年上半年，超過100萬的公寓銷售額從2018年1月至6月間銷售的708套公寓減少了51％，而2019年同期則為349套。

該報告還跟踪了卡爾加里的價格，其中超過100萬的房產銷售額下降了21％。

Luxury real estate sales flourished in Montreal with property sales over $4 million jumping by triple digits in the first half of 2019, but continued to dwindle in Vancouver, according to a new report.

“Canada’s top-tier real estate markets veered in separate directions,” read a report released Wednesday by Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, which tracked the number of condominiums, townhouses and detached homes sold for over $1 million and $4 million in major Canadian cities.

The agency has previously forecast Montreal as an emerging hot stop set to make new records.

Sales of properties over $1 million jumped five percent in the first half of 2019 compared with the same period last year.

Sales of properties over $4 million soared 267 percent with 11 properties sold. Three such properties were sold in the first half of 2018.

The agency’s experts noted an increase in international buyers — a group that includes new Canadians, permanent residents, and investors, according to the report, as foreign buyers’ taxes in Toronto and Vancouver redirected international buyers to Montreal.

However, the group still composes “a small percentage of overall top-tier sales activity” in the city, it said.

Meanwhile, in Vancouver’s formerly heated housing market, luxury property sales continued to drop due to fallout from government intervention.

“The market continued to bear the burden of tightened mortgage rules, multiple governmental policies and taxes, and hesitant sellers and fickle buyers lacking the motivation to commit to transactions,” the report read.

Sales of condos over $1 million fell 51 percent in the first six months of this year from 708 condos sold between January and June 2018 to 349 in the same six months of 2019.

Vancouver Realtor’s comment: Before 2014, the buyers always losing money when they decide to purchase condos. Condos’ price starts rasing in 2015-2017, all thanks to foreign buyers and international students. In nowadays, buyers will think why spending the same amount of money to purchase less living spaces???
